et’s get started!

You should be excited to start your new and promising small-scale import business. But before you get on your computer or mobile phone to start shopping and ordering products, let’s walk you through eight of the most frequently asked questions. By the time you’re doing reading these, you would know the best and most-trusted places to buy from, how to confirm the quality of products, the payment process and several more. Let’s dig in!

#1 - Where should you buy from?

The following websites are our top recommendations as online marketplaces that sell products at low wholesale prices:

Aliexpress.com

Aliexpress.com has become the leading destination for small scale importers looking to buy goods at wholesale prices from China. Aliexpress is one of the subsidiaries of the Alibaba Group which dominates internet-based commerce in China. In fact, in 2012, Alibaba’s portals handled sales of up to 1.1 trillion Yuan ($170 billion), more than its competitors (eBay and Amazon.com combined). The Alibaba Group is estimated to be worth between $55 billion to more than $120 billion.

The Alibaba Group launched Aliexpress in 2010 as an online retail service made up of mostly small sellers offering products to online buyers. It has more than 20 major product categories and sells to registered users and buyers in more than 220 countries around the world. You can visit its homepage at www.aliexpress.com

DHgate.com

DHgate.com is a business-to-business (B2B) e-Commerce website connecting China-based small and medium enterprises with buyers overseas. The website is a fast trading marketplace where users can order Chinese-manufactured products directly through the site. The company has been in business since 2004 and is backed by investors KPCB, JAFCO and Warburg Pincus.

It offers customer support through online chat, e-mail messages and phone support. The website is primarily in English but is also offered in other popular languages spoken in Africa such as French and Spanish. DHgate offers a wide range of products and you can visit its home page at www.dhgate.com

iPmart.com

iPmart.com (started in 2001) is a huge wholesale market that ships products from China, USA and Malaysia. Unlike Aliexpress.com and DHgate.com which have a wide range of products, iPmart.com is focused on electronic gadgets like mobile phones, game consoles and their spare parts and accessories. If you’re interested in technology products, iPmart.com is the place for you. You can visit its homepage at www.ipmart.com

To start shopping and placing your orders on any of these websites, you need to sign up to become a registered member. To sign up or register is usually very easy. By clicking on the ‘Join Free’ or ‘Register’ link at the top left/right corner of the home page, you will be sent to a registration page to complete a short form. All that is usually required is a Name, valid Email address and Password. If you prefer, you could sign up or register using your Facebook account.

As soon as your registration is complete, you can start shopping and adding items to your cart. When you’re ready to order, you will be led to the Payment page. This leads us to the next important step…

#2 - How can you pay for products?

 

Payment was one of the reasons why it was nearly impossible for small businesses to import directly from overseas manufacturers and suppliers. Banks had to issue a Letter of Credit or Bank Guarantee which often involved a long and complex process. Today, through easy online payment systems, all the websites we mentioned above accept payment through a wide range of channels. You can do a simple bank transfer or pay with a credit/debit card. Yes, the same card you use at the ATMs can be used to make purchases on these websites. Just make sure your bank account is sufficiently funded so you can make payments. Fast and easy! No banks or long processes involved!

Mobile Apps - How to exploit Africa's untapped market for mobile telephone apps

How to make money from mobile apps

Advertisements
There are quite a number of ways you can make money from mobile apps. One common income source is advertising. However, success with advertising hugely depends on how often your mobile app users will use it. The higher the frequency of use, the more advert income, the lower the frequency, you would have to consider another income approach.

For example, if an app is for breaking news, weather information, games, sports scores or social feeds which require constant use and interaction, advertisements will be a very effective way to make money. Businesses around the world are becoming very keen on mobile advertising and tend to pay top dollar for mobile advert space.

Give out a free version with the option to upgrade to a paid version
On the other hand, if your app will not require such constant use (such as reference materials like dictionaries or maps), a good strategy will be to charge for it upfront (usually between $1 to $5). Another popular variant of this strategy, which has proved to be very effective, is to give out basic versions of your apps for free (‘Freemium’) and allow users to upgrade to a higher paid version with more features. People love free apps because they are much less risky and allow them to have a taste and feel of the apps before spending any money.

Get paid to build apps for other people
Another good source of income in this venture is to help small and big businesses build apps. As more businesses are noticing higher numbers of customers buying through mobile internet channels, the need to develop a mobile app that provides convenience to customers is becoming very important.

Communities like Elance.com and ODesk.com are great places to find mobile app development jobs. If you’re confident in your ability to build apps, you can sign up and join these services so you can bid for mobile app jobs. Remember, if you’re willing to learn how to build apps yourself, Buzztouch is a great place to start.

Network marketing – How Africans can exploit the world’s most amazing business opportunity

 

http://www.smallstarter.com/browse-ideas/home-and-personal-services/93 

 

Many people often refer to ‘network marketing’ as ‘multi-level marketing’; both terms are very closely related and we’ll explain. Multi-Level Marketing (popularly known as MLM) refers to the compensation plan used to reward distributors in a network marketing business. Rather than pay distributors a commission for the volume of products they actively sell, the MLM plan also rewards distributors for the work done by distributors they recruit. For example, if you directly recruit five people to join your network marketing business, you will earn. This is the amazing power and opportunity of network marketing. It provides a unique opportunity to make money from your effort (active income) and from the efforts of others (passive income).

1. Real estate consultancy: Dealing as a real estate agent, you can hardly be at loss, unless you are too lazy to grab an opportunity. This is one business area which has been flourishing for years and cannot let you down. The return on investment is huge as the commission rates vary from 0.5% to 2% as consultancy fees. You can start a real estate consultancy with an investment between Rs. 0 – 800. So, if you plan to have this as your future, start looking in your own and nearby areas for hot properties.
2. Private tuitions: Teaching is a respected profession and some of the tutors even earn in six-digits (per month), merely coaching students in their own locality. Investment required here is close to zero as your knowledge is sold. Nothing else. Occasional investments relates to purchasing new books when there is a change of syllabus. However, before you plan to be a private tutor, make sure you have adequate knowledge about the subject.
3. Recruitment firms: This may sound weird but you can actually run a recruitment firm with an investment of less than Rs. 1,000. How? You don’t really need an office for this. You can work from home, contact people via emails and phones. Apart from this, you need internet access and newspapers at your place. The process is simple. Hunt for those who are in needs of employees. Hunt for those who are in need of employment. Match the requirements and done! However, with this, you need to be patient and dedicate long hours in the search. Success mantra here is to be patient and dedicated.
4. Making custom gifts: India is a place where almost half of the year, people are busy celebrating festivals and during the other half, there are birthdays and anniversaries. So, if you have the expertise, knowledge and are creative, this option is for you. Present custom made gifts and display them on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and other social networks. Get attention of those who like and appreciate the effort and can help you popularize your talent. The investment required here is time and products you use in making such display gifts.
6. Author: This is quite similar to our previous suggestion. The only difference is that in the previous case you can write and get a feedback on a regular basis. However, as an author, you need to invest long hours, days, weeks and even months to get something out of it. If it is appreciated by the publisher or you self publish it, and it gains popularity, you will reap the benefits for the investment made. However, it is not the easiest option available.
7. Event management: If you have a popular friend circle or have the convincing capability, go for this one. Investment involved here is even minimal.
8. Online store: Yes, this is a low investment business option. How? Open an eBay store and you can sell your products with easy.
9. Wedding planners: Marriage in India is big business. It is often said that people in India spend more of marriages than on education. What else can be said for this option? Investment: Can be as low as Rs. 1,000 and as high as Rs. 1,00,00,000. Plan your way!
10. Home bakery: Lately, there has been an increase in the demand of bakery products during special occasion. So, if you are good enough and want to bank on this opportunity, go for it! Here the investment is usually zero, as bakery items never go wasted. You can always have them and enjoy the delicious taste.

Open a Fruit Juice Stall or a Small Restaurant

If you do like any other jobs then you can open a fruit juice stall or a small restaurant. Your business will run in profit if you find a right location.
Imagine a stall or a restaurant near a bus stop or a railway platform. You will make great money. However getting a contract would be difficult.
But these small businesses are growing rapidly and you have an opportunity to make good money.
